Aunt Sophia's House


Today we have a picture "in Aunt Sophia Fritsche's back yard (Walnut St & Church)". It looks like it was also taken in the winter/spring since there are little patches of snow, naked trees and big bushy winter coats. According to the back we have Mary Wheeler, Bethel & Emma Fought. I am assuming that is Bethel Madison. Now the question is are these relatives? Friends? What brought them all together in Sophia's backyard? Today would have been Bethel's 107th birthday.

Timeframe: Good question Ollie. Bethel was born in 1903 and she looks to be a teenager in the picture so I would say somewhere around the 1920's.

Where It Fits: Bethel is the daughter of Myrtle Luetz. Myrtle is the sister of Leon Leutz and Bethel is a cousin to Ivan, Grace, Mary Cary, Robert, AJ, Beetrice & Monabell Leutz.
